How it works

A simple sleeve with a lot of thinking built right in. Everything the Papernomad needs to be the perfect case for you. And not one thing more.

  • Comfy Padding

    Batting that's been stitched between the paper composite outer shell and wool lining pads the sleeve and protects the contents. But it also makes your Papernomad really, really pleasant to hold. Actually, with your device inside, it has the excitingly firm feel of brown paper packages, tied up with string.

  • Wool Felt

    Felt, made from wool happily given by contented sheep, lines every Papernomad. Sustainable, non-scratch, non-static comfort for whatever it holds.

  • Hemp Pull-tab

    About as high-tech as your Papernomad will ever get. We use twill tape from the world’s most useful plant to make it easy to get at your device. Hidden inside the pulltab is a magnet that holds the pulltab shut with a soft little snicking noise.
